Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, ZIP 78410, one of several in Corpus Christi, Texas lands in the bottom 46% nationally (17,353rd) and the top 32% of Texas (590th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled uninsured lands in the top 3.1% nationally, modeled humid heat lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 8.0% nationally, crowded housing registers in the top 8.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 9.0% nationally, and binge drinking is in the top 8.8% nationally. On the brighter side, subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 5.3% nationally, and modeled radon lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. On the overall standing, ZIP 78413, about 9.6 miles away, ranks healthier.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.71 years of 77.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
